In their first meeting since a 2024 World Series that ended with the Dodgers raising a trophy and the Yankees swallowing instant infamy, both teams followed a similar script in an 8-5 Dodgers win. First came the Yankees runs, then the Dodgers comeback, aided and abetted by New York's miscues.

Shohei Ohtani hit two home runs and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the New York Yankees 8-5 in a rematch of last year's World Series.
